Cold, very wet and extremely windy …

In other words, it was a dreich day - winter has returned! I was rather pleased that I had work to do, which kept me inside.  Hubby went out “between showers” to buy a new outdoor light for our balcony, as we’ve discovered that the old one doesn’t work. He then bravely decided to deliver some more leaflets in an area of Parnell and made good progress.  There is now only a handful of streets left to do.

Given the constant rain during the day, the only photos I was able to take were of raindrops on the living room window and also on the balcony ranchslider (which is quite unusual).

Last night we watched Episode 1 of Series 3 of Unforgotten. Tonight we watched Episode 2 and then just HAD to watch Episode 3. Whew! Absorbing, addictive, if it were a book it would be unputdownable.
